Out-of-game updates

Vanguard will now refund LP if a cheater is detected in your game. There will also be feedback if a player you reported was punished.

The new Champion Mastery is out, but the final-final version will ship next patch. According to LoL devs, they're still making tweaks to the color, texture, and audio of the emotes. You should be able to see the new one now though, just remember to press CTRL+6.

Other changes in LoL Patch 25.06

New spawn music that Arcane fans need to keep an ear out for has been added. Throughout the game, you'll be able to hear the Black Rose female choir, too.
